    Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Satellite Differential System The Raystar 120 Satellite Differential GPS Receiver utilizes a new satellite differential system to improve the accuracy, integrity and availability of the basic GPS signals, resulting in satellite differential corrections and enhanced positional accuracy over standard GPS receivers.

  • Page 8: How It Works

    Geostationary Satellites which broadcast the corrected data on the standard GPS frequency, making it available to the user’s Raystar 120 GPS Receiver. The Raystar 120 GPS Receiver uses the correctional data transmitted by the Geostationary Satellites to refine the GPS positional data for greater accuracy.

    Figure 2-3 to Figure 2-3 below. Note: As with all onboard marine equipment, the installer should en- sure that the power supply connection to the Raystar 120 is adequate- ly protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. This will be provided, typically, by connection via a fused display unit.
